The colder weather has finally arrived, so everyone across Dallas-Fort Worth is in an autumn state of mind. There’s no shortage of fall-inspired activities to do in the coming month, so we’ve compiled a list of our favorite fall festivals and events across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Whether you’re looking for something kid-friendly or spine-tingling, there’s a festival for everyone on our list:
Autumn at the Arboretum – Dallas Arboretum
This annual celebration at the Dallas Arboretum is a must-see on many people’s lists. Running now through October 31, take a trip down memory lane with this year’s timeless theme “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Prepare to exclaim “oh my gourd” as you walk through the elaborate displays that feature more than 90,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash as well as 150,000 autumn flowers.
Water Lantern Festival – Globe Life Park
If you’re looking for a unique fall experience this October, head over to Globe Life Park on Saturday, October 19 for the Water Lantern Festival. Enjoy food trucks, retail vendors, kids activities and live music as you create your unique lantern. At sunset, watch as thousands of lanterns are released onto Mark Holtz Lake carrying messages of hope, happiness and healing.
State Fair of Texas – Fair Park
Running now through October 20, everything is bigger at the State Fair of Texas when it comes to food and fun! Ride the iconic ferris wheel, win an oversized stuffed animal, listen to live music and last but not least, eat delicious fried food. Try the award-winning Stuffed Fried Taco Cone and Big Red Chicken Bread, or enjoy a classic Fletcher’s corn dog.
Fright Fest – Six Flags Over Texas
If you’d rather partake in blood-curdling thrills, Six Flags Over Texas’s Fright Fest is right up your (dark) alley. Find yourself screaming both on and off the rides as you walk through themed scare zones and tackle the New Texas Giant or Titan at night. Continue the frights of Halloween at one of the many haunted houses across the metroplex like Fort Worth’s Cutting Edge, Plano’s Dark Hour or Waxahachie’s Screams.
Stockyards Championship Rodeo – Cowtown Coliseum
What would Fall in Texas be without a good old fashioned rodeo? Head over to the world-famous Stockyards in Fort Worth for one of their exciting Friday night rodeo competitions. Events include tie-down, break away and team roping, as well as barrel racing and bull riding.
